Dogs from United States, except Hawaii and Guam

? For general information about procedures for traveling to Australia with a dog or cat, visit

? Dogs and cats traveling from the United States to Australia must be accompanied by a valid import permit, which provides the conditions for importing the dog or cat.

? Dogs and cats must be identified by a microchip that can be read by an Avid, Trovan, Destron, or other ISO compatible reader. The animal's microchip number must be correctly recorded on all import documentation, including laboratory reports.

? Failure to comply with Australia's import conditions, exactly as specified, may result in the dog or cat being (at your cost): o held longer in post entry quarantine o subject to additional testing o exported o euthanized

? FOR SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS:

o Read your import permit

o Follow this step-by-step guide: Step-by-step guide on sending a dog from the United States (other than from Hawaii and Guam) to Australia

o Use these approved parasite treatments:

? Internal parasite treatment: must be effective against both nematodes and cestodes.

? External parasite treatment: The list of approved products is not exhaustive. Any product meeting the guidelines below, and applied as instructed, will be accepted regardless whether the specific product is listed on the website or not. The product must be:

? Effective against both ticks and fleas (e.g. Selamectin is not acceptable because it does not kill ticks).

? Effective on contact (oral medications such as NexGard and Bravecto are not acceptable).

? Administered to the dogs/cats by a USDA accredited veterinarian at frequencies and concentrations recommended by the manufacturer of the product.

? Applied according to the manufacturer's instructions ? If the product needs to be repeated monthly, it must be applied no later than the 31st day from the last application. Even a single day gap between two treatments will require repeating the whole process including blood sampling for E. canis.

? Registered in the country of export for the use in dogs or cats.
